Chapter 1495 : Taixu Saint

The origins of that Taixu Dao Palace were extraordinary; it was said to be a branch of the "Taixu Grotto-Heaven" within the Eastern Taixu Celestial Domain.

The Palace Master of this lineage, Daoist Chongxu (Person Name), was a Half-Step Celestial Immortal who had established dual Taiyi foundations. In his youth, he had opened 8 heavenly layers, once revered alongside Divine Lord Yexu (Person Name) as the Twin Talents of the human race in the Western Abyssal Sea.

Before him, this Daoist Kun Tian had also opened 8 layers of heavens and was even hailed as a potential candidate to become the next Palace Master of the Grand Void Dao Palace. After understanding their identities, Eldrin spoke with exceptional courtesy, "So it is the 2 of you. My apologies for the lack of respect earlier."

Daoist Kuntian glanced at Eldrin (Person Name) and, not daring to show undue neglect, cupped his hands in response: "Fellow Daoist once single-handedly vanquished the Flowing Fire Palace Lord in battle. Such combat prowess would likely make this old man concede defeat."

"It is my honor to meet you today." "You flatter me."

Eldrin shook his head repeatedly before speaking, "The credit for slaying the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace belongs entirely to the 10 1000 Crows Forbidden Ground. How could I dare claim any merit for myself?"

Elder Kun Tian gave a noncommittal smile and said, "1 100 1000 years from now, a distinguished guest shall arrive at the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea from our ancestral land—the Taixu Grotto-Heaven."

"By my reckoning, he is around the same age as you, fellow cultivator, and likely matches you in strength. I imagine you 2 could become good friends." "Oh?"

Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily, an involuntary flicker of astonishment crossing his features.

Having cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, this was the first time he had ever heard of someone his age who could rival him.

Seeing this, True Lord Pofu immediately sent a voice transmission to Eldrin (Person Name), "The person he speaks of is none other than the Taixu Saint Son of the Taixu Grotto-Heaven." "The Taixu Saint Son?"

Eldrin raised an eyebrow, a flicker of surprise crossing his features.

Lord Pofu nodded slightly, pausing in contemplation before continuing, "They say the Crown Prince of Taixu was born with a sword on his back—a natural-born sword immortal seed."

Upon first entering the celestial realm, he encountered a great tribulation. Wielding a celestial sword, he carved out a formidable reputation, hailed as the most exceptional talent the Taixu Celestial Domain had seen in a million years.

"It is said that this individual is the inheritor of the Taixu Grotto-Heaven's earthly legacy. Due to his extraordinarily dazzling talent, the master of the Taixu Grotto-Heaven exceptionally took him as a personal disciple, establishing him as the Sacred Son of the Taixu Grotto-Heaven."

"To be honest, I've only been an immortal for a mere 300,000 years—younger than you by some measure. Yet I've already reached the late-stage Earth Immortal realm. Indeed, we are of the same generation."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod upon hearing this.

Even with the support of a Grotto-Heaven, to reach the Late-stage Earth Immortal realm in a mere 300,000 years—the Taixu Saint Son truly deserved to be called a peerless prodigy.

Thinking of this, Eldrin couldn't help but ask, "Fellow cultivator, regarding that Taixu Holy Son—how many layers of heavenly domains has he managed to unveil?" "That remains unknown."

Lord Pofu shook his head, his voice tinged with boundless envy, "It is said that not long ago, the Taixu Saint—with cultivation at the seventh level of Earth Immortal—single-handedly slew 3 beings at the Great Perfection stage of Earth Immortal in 1 battle."

"Such earth-shattering combat prowess—rumors say he has opened at least 11 heavenly layers." Upon hearing this, Eldrin furrowed his brow slightly, his expression finally turning grave.

Slaying 3 Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage in a single battle—even with Eldrin's current combat prowess, achieving such a feat would be exceedingly difficult.

"The Grotto-Heaven Holy Son, a direct disciple of a Celestial Immortal, is truly extraordinary."

Eldrin was also somewhat astonished, as he recalled the Saintess of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven.

It is said that the Fairy of Yaoxi had also opened 9 celestial layers, and now, at just over 2,000,000 years of age, she had already stepped into the half-step Celestial Immortal realm.

These supreme prodigies, blessed with profound backgrounds and extraordinary innate talents, were nurtured with unwavering dedication by their blessed paradises. The resources they received were easily a hundredfold greater than those of Eldrin (Person Name).

Eldrin (Person Name) had obtained this Heaven-Splitting Supreme Treasure through a desperate life-and-death battle coupled with extraordinary serendipity, yet these Holy Sons and Holy Daughters would likely scarcely prize such a treasure.

To be perfectly honest, if Eldrin claimed he wasn't envious, it would be nothing but a lie.

However, Eldrin quickly dismissed the thought. Although these Grotto-Heaven Holy Sons treaded an easier path, there was nothing worth comparing or competing with.

The Crown Princes of those golden immortal sects and the Dao Heirs inheriting the legacy of the Dao Ancestors undoubtedly possess resources a hundredfold, a thousandfold greater. Compared to them, these grotto-heaven Crown Princes are nothing.

He rose from obscurity in this life, never placing much importance on his own origins.

He firmly believed that by forging ahead through thorns and thistles and continuously surpassing his limits, 1 day he would be able to open up a grotto-heaven and even establish a celestial realm of his own.

At that time, I would become the master of the grotto-heaven, the sovereign of the immortal realm—what could be more exhilarating?

心念至此Eldrin (Person Name)很快就将念头压了下去，他寻到了灵霄仙子询问道：「如今情况如何？」「夫君正在闭关室之中，只待灵机合适便会冲击太乙道则。」

Lingxiao Immortal (Person Name) spoke slowly, her expression exceptionally grave. "This humble 1 must personally safeguard my husband’s cultivation. As for the enemies attacking this time, I can only implore you, Fellow Daoist, to hold them beyond the boundaries of Zixiao Dao Palace (Location)."

Eldrin nodded, his expression grave. "Fellow Daoist, rest assured. Within the core blessed land, I shall not permit anyone to enter." Having said this, Eldrin began activating the Mountain Protection Array, standing vigilant day and night to guard the entire Violet Heaven Dao Palace.

Thus time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, several 1000 years had passed. It was not until 3 1000 years later that the vast Violet Firmament Dao Palace trembled slightly, as majestic spiritual energy began converging toward the core of the grand formation.

"It begins."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then pushed the formation's power to its absolute limit.

And in that very instant, from within the endless void, several figures could no longer remain seated. In the blink of an eye, dozens of silhouettes emerged 1 after another.

30-7 Earth Immortals barred the path.

Eldrin furrowed his brow slightly. At this moment, Patriarch Zi Xuan was attempting a breakthrough to the Great Unity Realm. It was crucial to minimize the spiritual energy consumption of the formation arrays, lest Patriarch Zi Xuan ultimately fail his ascension due to insufficient immortal spiritual energy.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke up: "I must trouble you all to take action and stop these individuals."

"Leave it to us."

A dozen or so Earth Immortals at the late stage who had come to assist, along with Kael (Person Name) and others, swiftly joined the fray, intercepting the majority of their Earth Immortal adversaries. Yet in that very instant, 5 more powerful enemies descended—all of them at the great perfection stage of the Earth Immortal realm.

Eldrin recognized 3 of them: the Dark Roc King, the Central Earth Deity, and the Azure Dragon Lord. The remaining 2 were both Earth Immortal Perfection Realm demons, though their combat prowess was relatively ordinary among those at this realm.

After a glance at the group, Eldrin took a deep breath and said, "Fellow Daoists, I beg your assistance."

"So it is ordained."

In an instant, Breaking Cauldron True Monarch and Profound Departure True Monarch each made their move, intercepting 2 Great Perfection Earth Immortals.

Seeing this, Taoist Kuntian brandished an ancient duster of Creation-level grade, sweeping across all directions to block the path of the Central Earth Deity.

Seeing this, Eldrin had Lyra take command of the grand formation before stepping out of it himself, intercepting the Azure Dragon Lord and the Dark Roc Demon King.

Eldrin stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression serene as he regarded the 2 figures before him. "The 2 of you," he said, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable edge, "come at me together."
